I sit and I wonder again
at the duplicity of America
we call for equality for all
then divide on party lines
it is wrong to hate you for color
to despise you for your creed
to persecute you for gender
or ridicule you for orientation
but acceptable to name call
and obstruct you at every turn
when done in the name of the party
for the sake of political gain
we need to return once more
to the place of commonality
a place where sanity prevails
middle ground, middle ground!
has reason really departed?
is compromise finally dead?
must it always be one or the other?
isn't there something between?
extremes represent a minority
but minorities are not always extremes
there is a mixture clustered together
making us the true majority
STAND UP, you silent observers
fight to have your voice heard
we may not agree on everything
but our voices must be raised
the screaming frantic ravers
who rant at the poles of extreme
have had their time in the spotlight
their fifteen minutes are up
let's put an end to discrimination
send bigotry off to its grave
its time to stop all this hatred
democrats and republicans
We the People, not we the party
only then will healing begin
back to the middle ground
standing together on Main Street
tittle :MAIN STREET AMERICA;
